bonding: fix ad_actor_system option setting to default 

[ Upstream commit 1c15b05baea71a5ff98235783e3e4ad227760876 ]

When 802.3ad bond mode is configured the ad_actor_system option is set to
"00:00:00:00:00:00". But when trying to set the all-zeroes MAC as actors'
system address it was failing with EINVAL.

An all-zeroes ethernet address is valid, only multicast addresses are not
valid values.

Fixes: 171a42c38c ("bonding: add netlink support for sys prio, actor sys mac, and port key")

In an AD system, this specifies the mac-address for the actor in

mac but driver does not enforce it. If the value is not given then

This parameter has effect only in 802.3ad mode and is available through
SysFs interface.
